All Fridays on the 13th
New Bill Becomes a Law
Friday will always fall on the thirteenth of the month, if a new bill proposing a new calendar becomes a law. The bill has been offered in the house by Representative H. J. Drane, of Florida. He would add another month, making thirteen in all, and would place it between June and July, naming the month Centre. Each month would have twenty-eight days, causing Friday to always fall on the thirteenth. Holidays would be switched around, January 3 being Christmas, December 3 Thanksgiving day and March 7 Washington's Birthday.
